Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (IPT) uptake and Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) uptake among adults receiving primary HIV care in South Africa .

<p>We aimed to evaluate Isoniazid Preventive Therapy&nbsp;(IPT) and tuberculin skin testing (TST) uptake under primary care clinic conditions, and determine health care worker (HCW) fidelity to the 2014&nbsp;South African IPT guidelines.&nbsp;Following training on IPT guidelines and tuberculin skin testing (TST), 3&nbsp;primary care clinics identified their IPT implementation strategy in a participatory manner.&nbsp;Using routine register data, TST uptake was determined 3 months before and 5 months after the intervention.&nbsp;Records were reviewed to identify IPT/TST uptake and factors associated with IPT initiation among adults living with HIV.</p>
